Fix login API for users with @ in their usernames

Browse source 
An @ in the username caused the password to be treated as a bot password,
but apparently some real usernames still contain it. Try both logins
instead. Security considerations are the same as for the other bot
password syntax: the length check makes sure we do not provide any
information on a timing side channel about the password unless it is
extremely long.
